Woman reportedly shoots self in head while taking selfie

Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.

It's not a good idea to take a selfie while holding a 9mm gun.

I'm not going to say this has to stop.

For the simple reason that it won't. And any amount of cajoling or pleading won't make a jot of difference.

People will try and take ever more "creative" selfies and things will go wrong.

In this instance, a 21-year-old Russian woman was reportedly in the throes of taking a selfie while pointing a 9mm handgun at her head. I don't know if this signaled that she was having a bad day or a good one.

However, what resulted is the gun went off and she is now in a serious condition.
